Chris, that is inspirational!! Does very quickly change what one thinks is important in life doesn't it.

Makes my BC trip seems like a speed bump or hurdle compared to that (S#$% 3 years of chemo).

Love & hugs to your daughters friend and her daughter!!!

This is comming from far left, you all might like to give a a tought to this.
My daughters friend has a 2 year old girl who has leucemia & is going through 3 years of chemotherapy, YES 3 Years. Sofie calls her chemo grumpy medicine & when she lost her hair she said it (the hair) had gone on a holiday. How positive is that? When she saw me she got the giggles when I had no hair, and wanted to know where my hair went for holidays. How funny is that? If a little 2 year old & her very strong Mum can do chemo without or little complaint so can adults. By the way the Mum is a music therapist who was working with prem babies at the Royal Womens & has had to stop because of her daughters constant treatment. The little girl & her Mum are an inspiration to me & when I feel a bit low I turn my thoughts to them. Thoughtless sports men & commercial TV beat ups deserve no space in my life. Chris

Hi Jezza, great idea!!! After all my whingeing, in the last few days I guess I forgot about the
great, unconditional caring friends you can make through all this.

Sorry girls, got some of the SIL stuff all off my chest .

My son started kinder 3 months before my dx last year. One of the mums whom I hardly knew
picked up my son one "crappy" 1st week after chemo' mornings to take him to kinder, she saw my
shopping list on the bench and took it, basically I didn't have a chance to say anything as she ran out the
door. 2 Hours later she returned with about $200 worth of groceries and a cooked chicken and salad for
that night.

She now has become one of my closest friends and I am starting to be able to return some favours with
babysitting etc.

O.K. We all have stories about people who have said TOTALLY the wrong thing when they find out we have breast cancer. Has anyone any stories about people who have said or done something which has actually helped or made you feel better?
